10 Rules to Live By for
Those Who Want to
Live a Positive Life
Sue Weber
In this last Sunday of our
month of “Welcome” let’s talk
about how we can have a
more positive life. If we can
do that it will make us an
even more Welcoming
Congregation.
September 2017
Don Sense – by Rev. Don Garrett
While our fiscal year began in July, our Church Year, and our resumption of
Worship Themes begins in September. I’m really looking forward to what
we’re going to do together this year. There’s excitement brewing about many
changes afoot – there’s not a group or committee among us that isn’t engaged
in the work of being a better church. Let’s all dig in and support these efforts,
even if they take a little time to get used to. It’s going to be well worth it!
Our themes for the year will be: September – Welcome, October –
Courage, November – Abundance, December – Hope, January – Intention,
February – Perseverance, March – Balance, April – Emergence, May –
Creativity, and June – Blessing.
September: What Does It Mean to Be a People of Welcome?
Welcoming is most often associated with “bigness.” We speak about
“expanding the circle” and making more room. We talk about make ourselves
larger through the practice of welcoming in new experiences and new ideas.
But there is also the work of becoming smaller. And sometimes that is the
even more important work.
For instance, those of us who are white are learning that true welcoming
of diversity just can’t happen until we shrink and de-center our voices. We
also know that expanding community and welcoming newcomers requires
right-sizing our needs and putting our preferences second. Welcoming
regularly involves the smallness of humility and willingness to listen and
learn. The great spiritual teachers remind us that the key to feeling at home
in the universe is seeing ourselves as a tiny but precious part of a greater
whole, rather than believing that the whole world revolves around us.
Downsizing and living simply allows us to welcome in more experience,
adventure and peace. And, of course, there’s also the work of downsizing our
egos enough to admit mistakes, ask for forgiveness and welcome in the work
of repair.
Bottom line: There is a deep spiritual connection between the smallness
of self and the expansiveness of relationship. It’s a curious and wonderful
truth: the road to widening the circle often starts with limiting our own size.
By becoming “smaller,” we paradoxically are better able to welcome in and
receive the gift of “more.”
See you in church.
– Don

FROM THE PRESIDENT In a recent visit to the Chestertown, MD. UU Church, the
lay-leader read from the book A Chosen Faith, the
Forward by Robert Fulghum. I’d like to summarize it
below as it’s the closest definition I’ve seen about us.
“Mr. Fulghum, is it true you are a minister?” – “Yes”
“Where’s your church?”- “ We’re standing in it”
“But this is a bookstore and this is Friday?” – “Yes, but
you might also choose to see it as a cathedral of the
human spirit. Any place containing great thinking is a
sacred space”
“Really? What kind of minister are you” – “ Unitarian
Universalist.”
“And you hold services in bookstores on Friday?”
“ No, but this is an example of how Unitarian
About everything and anything. What we have most in
“Your church in my neighborhood looks like a regular
church to me.” – “Of course. We come together in
community and do many things any religious
community does, but we also come together during the
rest of the week.”
“To do what?” – “To share ideas, discuss political action,
work on projects to benefit the larger community and
hear speakers on a broad range of topics. We enjoy and
need the companionship of like- minded people.”
“You mean there is no dogma?” – “We agree individuals
must work out their own religious conclusions. We
agree to respect these differences. We agree to learn
from these differences. We want to be exposed to a wide
range of information and view-points. We share the
conviction that one should be active in the affairs of the
world regardless of their political affiliation. ”
“Are Unitarian Universalists Christians?” – “ Yes and no.
Some are and some aren’t , and some haven’t decided.
The same would apply to any religious affiliation. We’re
known for diversity of opinion and belief. When we ask
most Unitarian Universalists how they came to be
members, they say it’s because they were looking for a
community of people who are liberal in their religious
values and active in their commitment to community
service. We believe in the right of the individual to
choose their own religious principles and put those
principles into practice.”
I think this says it all. Please join a committee of
your choice and join the fun. -- Cease
WELCOME UUA PRESIDENT, SUSAN FREDERICK-GRAY
Our New UUA President has an energizing vision for the
future of our movement. As an introduction, here is some
of her vision:
“From the beginning, I’ve said three things are
essential: Spiritual vitality, Partnership, Organizing for
impact. They are even more true now.
“Spiritual vitality: The challenges we face today
require a deeper spiritual presence than the protections
of privilege have allowed in the past. This is not about
any particular belief; it’s about mission and vitality in our
communities. People and families are looking for
spiritual communities that speak truth to the realities of
this time and prepare us for greater resiliency and love,
greater resistance and moral courage.
“Partnership: Unitarian Universalism has to move
past a culture of individualism and exceptionalism that
leads us to think we always know best, for the challenges
we face require deeper collaboration at the intersections
for justice. It is time to practice partnership, humility,
and collaboration in how we lead, in how we work across
congregations, and in how we partner beyond our faith.
“Organizing for impact: What the UUA most
needs is a clear, compelling vision for who we are called
to be, and the willingness to put this vision at the heart of
all we do. This is an invitation to be more mission
focused and accountable to clear and measurable
outcomes. The more specific we can be in articulating the
change we hope to make in our institutions and the
greater world, the more effective we will be at directing
our resources to achieve the mission.
“This is a defining time for the country, the planet,
and our faith. It is calling more from us—more love,
more courage, more leadership. Spiritual vitality,
partnership, and mission clarity are what we need to
answer this call.”
CALL FOR PHOTOS OF WORSHIP The Worship Committee requests good quality photos of
worship. Photos of services like Water Communion,
Animal Blessing or Bridging Ceremony are especially
desired. Photos of choir, guest musicians and of the service
in general are useful, to bring life and color to the worship
page of our new website. Please send digital files to
Worship Chair Sarah Carlson at [email protected].

THE CENTER & WALL STREET JOURNAL
2016-17 Fiscal Year, Final Report
This is a belated report of our Operating Income and
Expense for the church fiscal year that ended on June
30. Expense exceeded Income, but by less than
expected: rental income notably exceeded the budgeted
amount. We met our fair share contributions to the UUA
and region/district, maintaining our perfect record of
some 30 years, and we received our $20,000 "Chalice
Lighters" grant toward the handicapped access
elevator/lift project. Cash flow was adequate during the
year. More than $33,000 in prepaid pledges for 2017-
18 were in hand. Selected specifics are tabulated below.
If you have not fulfilled your pledge payment for
2016-17, please do so if you are able. To determine
your remaining pledge "balance," please contact me or

Do you have an affinity for "numbers," and are you enthusiastic about working on the computer? If so, you might be interested in participating in the important "treasury-related" activities of the church. Also, the Finance Committee can always use "new faces" with an interest in money and fiscal matters. Allen Zinnes, Don Davis or I would be happy to discuss these "opportunities" with you!

FROM THE LIFESPAN EDUCATION COORDINATOR
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION (RE)
FOR CHILDREN & YOUTH We are nearly ready for the start of a new year of
religious education classes. The RE committee’s efforts
to recruit volunteers for the program have paid off. We
need just a few more people to help in our primary class,
PreK-1st and our elementary class, 2nd-4th. To get
information about these classes, find our new RE
prospectus (with the photo of our own chalice on it), or
consult the UUCLV web site (www.uuclvpa.org), or ask
me or a member of the RE Committee.
The RE program has gone through a number of big
changes in the seven and a half years since I became the
RE Director. Of the eighty children and youth who were
enrolled in 2010, I count thirteen children and youth
that are still here. Of course, many of them have
graduated and some have moved away. We have almost
fifty children in our program now. This trend of lower
enrollment goes beyond our congregation and even
beyond our denomination. About thirty five children and
youth have started coming since 2010. Although those
reduced numbers make it harder to recruit volunteers, I
consider it a hopeful sign that we have attracted those
new families. Irrespective of the numbers, we provide a
comprehensive program that provides a welcoming,
affirming environment in which children can learn and
practice our seven principles, be introduced to diverse
religions and spiritual practices, and begin to develop
their own theology. Our Whole Lives and Coming of Age
provide life-altering education and experiences that give
our youth important tools for navigating our world. I am
convinced that that there are hundreds of families in the
Lehigh Valley that would love what we offer if they only
knew about us.
This year I would like to start some initiatives to
connect us with those potential members. We have
improved our ability to welcome visitors and we have
an attractive program. People say that we are
welcoming and warm. My hope is we can buck the
trends and build a larger program over the next few
years. We are needed in the world!
In faith, Jansen Wendell,
Director of Lifespan Religious Education
P.S. Our summer RE program, Hogwarts Sunday School
was the most popular summer RE class in seven years.
Thanks to all the teachers and assistants who made it
possible. Special thanks to Jeannie Burd for decorating
the classroom in the Harry Potter theme and for creating
the lesson plans.
ADULT RELIGIOUS EDUCATION:
INSPIRING OUR ETHICAL AND SPIRITUAL LIFE: AN EXAMINATION OF WORLD RELIGIONS
During our 2017-2018 year, our adult religious education
class will examine the religions of the world that give us
inspiration to build our ethical and spiritual lives. This
class will examine the traditions of Egypt, Iran, India,
China, Israel, Arabia and European Christianity. Loosely
based on Neighboring Faiths, a UUA curriculum for 5th
and 6th graders, Rev. Capoor will present new material
from all of these areas. There will be speakers from many
of the faith traditions and field trips to their worship
services within the Lehigh Valley. The class begins on
Sunday, September 17th at 9am, RE Library. Please tell
Jansen Wendell ([email protected]) or Rev. Robin Capoor
([email protected]) if you’re interested.
MINDFULNESS PRACTICE GROUP
(Tuesday evenings, 7:00 – 8:30pm, the Community Room)
With the help of conscious breathing, we are able to
touch and be nourished by the peace and joy that are
available within and around us, in the here and now.
With continued practice, we shall touch and understand
the roots of the pain that lie deep within us, such as fear,
anger, despair, thus making transformation and healing
possible. For more information, contact Janice
Lovegrove at [email protected] .
LONG STRANGE TRIP:
2000 YEARS OF UNITARIAN UNIVERSALIST HISTORY

I WANT WHAT I WANT! As we prepare for our 2017 Service
Auction, we are introducing a new
category to the experience. “I Want
What I Want” is a way to request a
service to be performed at a flat rate
you’re willing to pay to the church.
For Example:
I, Dora Davenport, want someone to wash my vehicle (1
time only) and I will pay $10.00 to the church. If
you are willing to perform this service, then Dora
will pay the church. I, Dora Davenport, want someone to help me paint my house
shutters (which are attached to house) and I will pay
$50 to the church. Estimated 4 hours’ work.
I, Robin Capoor, want 2 helpers to work with me to
clean and organize the church sanctuary closet in
preparation for the elevator installation. I will pay
$60 to the church. Estimated 2 hours’ per person for
their work. Help needs to be scheduled in
coordination with elevator installation.
You can request as many as you like of the same “Want”
item and/or submit other wants. But only one person
can sign-up to do the task (unless specified otherwise).
See how creative you can be in getting what you want!
There will be a separate auction table where these “I
Want What I Want” sign-up sheets will be arranged.
So, besides requesting an “I Want What I Want”
item, please also consider fulfilling one of the requests
which will raise our service auction totals.
Please understand that this is a new category.
Thanks to Joanna Taczanowsky who suggested this idea.
Any questions, please see Dora Davenport, or email her
at [email protected] or [email protected].
Hope to see you at the Service Auction, November 18th!

UUCLV SERVICE AUCTION: NOVEMBER 18, 2017
Please join us for our 2017 service
auction. NO theme this year because
we are keeping it simple. Our evening
will start with a happy hour at 4:30pm
featuring appetizers, beer, wine, and
soft drinks. Then enjoy our pot-luck
meal – salad, main dish, side dish, and
well as a vast selection of desserts.
Pay attention to our newest category called “I Want
What I Want”. This is a way for you to request a service
that you want to be done at a flat rate that you will pay
to the church. Then if someone agrees to perform the I
Want What I Want service, the task is done for you and
the church gets the funds. A win-win effort!
During the evening be prepared to have simple fun.
Fun bidding on the many offers at the auctions as you
enjoy a memorable evening. Be sure to experience it all –
The Food, The Live Auction, The Silent Auction, The
Signups, and I Want What I Want. Admission: $10.00, or
$5.00 with a potluck dish for the meal. Children are free
and childcare is available with activities for the kids.
What could YOU offer at the auction? If you are
planning a specific event, please set a date so people can
plan. If the event is for a specific number of people,
please tell us. All kinds of offerings and goods are
appreciated. If you want someone to pet sit, or drive you
to the airport, or help with a house chore, submit your “I
Want What I Want” service offer. Our auction page is
coming soon to the church website; stand by for more
details or contact Dora at [email protected].

WATCH THIS SPACE Many of our UUCLV Property
Committee summer projects are
completed. The tree branches are
trimmed and away from our building.
The community room hot water
pipes are wrapped with decorative
rope. The back alley window well is
cleared and water-free. Wall Street
weeds are gone, new brown mulch in their place.
Next up, the gym/kitchen area be
transformed – the new flooring is being
installed the week of August 21st. The
women’s room (off Center Street lobby)
will have its final coat of Sherman
Williams “Nude” color paint, making
that room bright and updated. These
projects were all completed by many
helping hands assisting the property
committee transform our beloved church property.
CPR CLASSES In light of recent health issues faced by congregation
members, it seems a good idea to learn life-saving
techniques – CPR, the Heimlich maneuver and the use of
an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). If you are
interested, Frank Claps has a sign-up sheet during coffee
hour. Or contact him through his e-mail or phone (see
church directory). Frank has lined up an instructor who
can do both CPR and AED training. An Automatic
External Defibrillator (AED) will be installed by
September. Here is a link to video on the use of the Zoll
AED Plus defibrillator: https://youtu.be/AthCTidepsw
SEPTEMBER HOSPITALITY September Hospitality will be provided by the South
neighborhood (zip codes 18034, 18036, 18041, 18049,
18055, 18062, 18073, 18077, 18081, or 18955) with their
facilitators, Anthony Gazillo and Ann Peaslee. Please
volunteer to help as a greeter, usher, and snack or flower
provider. Your children are welcome to join you as
greeters or ushers. Your signup.com invitation will be in
your inbox soon. Don’t have email? Sign up on the
Hospitality Board calendar in the Community room.
Welcome new members at our next pot luck on September
17. Please bring a dish to share serving 6-8 people.
SAYING YES TO BETHLEHEM EMERGENCY SHELTERING
In January 2009 when 7 churches came together to
provide sheltering for Bethlehem’s homeless, the UUCLV
was one of the first churches to say yes. We opened our
doors one night a week and provided dinner and
breakfast in our community room to both men and
women. UUCLV said yes each winter since, moving to the
gym and serving over 125 men this past winter, averaging
50 men a night. The sheltering program BES has since
grown to 13 churches and in this past 2016-2017 season
accommodated guests with over 6000 bed nights.
We are saying yes again to this coming December
2017-March 2018 season. We are saying yes to a
significant change. The shelter will be held at a single
site, Christ UCC on Market and Center Streets. It has
space for both male and female guests. Guests will eat
together, but sleeping areas and bathroom facilities will
be on different floors. It is the hope that this single site
location will bring less work for our volunteers and ease
for our guests and a greater success for this shared
ministry. We will no longer have to transport guests in
the heavy winter snows to the various churches outside
the city and lucky for us, it is close to our UUCLV home.
Much of the workings of the shelter will be the same.
Our congregation will provide a site coordinator and
volunteers to greet and register guests at 5 PM, prepare
and serve simple dinner and breakfast, provide hospitality
to the guests, and serve as overnight chaperones one
person in the women’s area, and one in the men’s area.
BES will provide one hired security staff person each night
- he will be awake throughout the night, custodial services
as needed, and help if needed with food expense.
Every Wednesday this past winter in the gym our
congregation sheltered, fed and offered showers to 125
men. Thanks to our tremendous volunteers it has been
one of the most successful programs of our church
community and is regarded by our winter guests to be
one of the “special” places in the sheltering program.
The single site shelter is expected to average 60 guests a
night, 10-20 women and 35-45 men. Wednesday
night/Thursday morning will still be our volunteer slot.
However, we will probably only be scheduled for the 1st
and 3rd Wednesday of each month, December - March.
To all our UUCLV volunteers …… PLEASE SAY YES
AGAIN !!!!!! -- Ann Gastinger

NEW PROJECTOR CAMPAIGN
Last May, many participants who enjoy our Breakfast
Forum and Fourth Friday Films mentioned that they
can't see the projected images very well. As new
Coordinator for the Forum, I thought it was the lightbulb.
But after replacing the bulb, it was still the same. So with
the advice and help of a generous donation from Dan
Poresky, and the help of Kerry Jones, Tom Repasch, and
Dora Davenport, a new projector and company has been
decided upon. Now we are asking for generous donations
from the congregation, and those who attend Breakfast
Forum, Fourth Friday Films and Second Sanctuary. The
total amount is $1500. Please help with what ever you
can. We have offered these wonderful programs proudly
as FREE and want to continue this tradition. There is an
acrylic Donation Box in the Community Room specifically
for the New Projector fund. Please write PROJECTOR in the
memo line of any checks. To pay by credit card, please see
me at the Welcome Table at Coffee Hour. Questions?
Contact me at [email protected] Thanks! -Cari Poole

CALLING ALL COMMITTEES!
Sunday, October 1 marks our kick off committee event,
the Coffee Hour Committee Fair. Please help us educate
the congregation about your committee and entice
members to participate in the following ways:
1 - Include a description of why your committee
exists at UUCLV (it’s charter perhaps) and who
(committee members) help to give it life.
2 - Provide at least one ’sign up’ sheet for people to
indicate their desire to help your committee in some
task, perhaps an upcoming action that you are planning,
or a time limited task force later during the year? For
sure, you can encourage others to join your committee
if there’s work to do that you can’t handle currently.
3 - A colorful / decorative set-up or plate of free
cookies might encourage folks to stop by, and perhaps
win your committee the Best Table prize!
